Subject: Another Bklyn Lake family

Hi,
  While we are on the subject of the Gravesend Lakes - I would like to jump
in with my LAKE family, who lived not far from them in Bklyn.
My ancestors were Anthony (1811-1883) & Sophia LAKE (1815-1887),who were both
born in Quebec. They moved to West Troy,NY in the early 1850's -then to Bklyn
by 1865.They had 8 children - Amalia PRUDHAM, Thomas, Daniel (local
politician & U.S. Marshal), Almira TATE, Levi, William, Mary WELSH?, & Henry
(my gggf.).
Family stories say that they were French-Canadian & the name was changed -
possibly from BEAULAC.
My question  -  Any possiblity that a member of the Gravesend LAKES went to
Canda (Loyalist ? ) and started a French branch of the family ?
Would love to exchange info with any French-Canadian LAKES !!!
